Air Fryer Portobello Pizzas For Two Recipes

AIR-FRYER PORTOBELLO MELTS

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a shallow bowl. Mix oil, vinegar, salt and dried basil; brush onto both sides of mushrooms. Let stand 5 minutes. Reserve remaining marinade. Preheat air fryer to 400°., Place mushrooms on greased tray in air-fryer basket, stem side down. Cook until tender, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from basket. Top stem sides with tomato and cheese; secure with toothpicks. Cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Remove and keep warm; discard toothpicks., Place bread on tray in air-fryer basket; brush with reserved marinade. Cook until lightly toasted, 2-3 minutes. Top with mushrooms. Sprinkle with chopped basil.

AIR FRYER PIZZA

Steps:

• Prep: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray air fryer basket well with oil. Pat mozzarella dry with paper towels (to prevent a soggy pizza).
• Cook Crust: Roll out pizza dough to the size of your air fryer basket. Carefully transfer it to the air fryer, then brush lightly with a teaspoon or so of olive oil. Cook for 3 minutes.
• Assemble: To the precooked crust, spoon on a light layer of tomato sauce and sprinkle with chunks of buffalo mozzarella.
• Bake: For about 7 minutes until crust is crispy and cheese has melted. Optionally top with basil, grated parmesan, and pepper flakes just before serving.

AIR FRYER PORTOBELLO PIZZAS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Rub 1 tablespoon olive oil over each mushroom. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning inside each. Set mushrooms in the air fryer basket, cap sides up. Air fry for 3 minutes.
• Flip mushrooms over so that the cap is facedown in the basket. Divide pizza sauce between the 2 mushrooms. Cover with 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella and 1 tablespoon sliced olives. Air fry for 3 minutes.
• Place 4 pepperoni slices on each pizza and cover with remaining mozzarella cheese. It is important to weigh the pepperoni down with cheese or the fan will blow them off the pizza.
• Air fry until cheese is melted and pepperoni is browned, about 2 minutes.

AIR FRYER PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp (paper) towel. Then place the portobello mushrooms onto a large plate or into a baking dish.
• Add the oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder to a small bowl and mix well.
• Brush both sides of the mushrooms with the spice dressing. If your portobello mushrooms are very big, you might want to add some extra salt, pepper, or garlic powder to ensure good spice coverage.
• Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Once it's hot, add the mushrooms to the air fryer with the cap side down. You can spoon any of the leftover dressing into them at this point. Make sure that the portobello mushrooms fit into the air fryer in one layer without overlap. If you can't fit them in all at once, cook them in two batches.
• Cook the mushrooms for 6-7 minutes for medium-sized mushrooms, and 8-10 minutes for large portobello mushrooms. Flip them over halfway through the cooking time. Since every air fryer is slightly different, your cook time can vary.
• When the portobello mushrooms are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and serve with dips of your choice, as a side dish or use them for a portobello burger.
